Easy Brunzi Baseball Casserole

This Easy Brunzi Baseball Casserole is something you can slip in SO many good things. You can mix regular rice with cauliflower rice. Also, add some spinach or kale to the mix. Chop up some fresh mushrooms. Use your imagination! I have started sprinkling a bit of nutritional yeast on top, along with some cheddar cheese. Also, cashew cheese would be good, although it would totally screw with my brain. I’m not sure I could use cauliflower rice and cashew cheese. That may be too much for my little heart to manage.

Chicken Asparagus Pasta Bake

I’m just going to write this how I cooked it, so it will not be like a list and the instructions.

K?

K.

Without further ado, here is my Chicken Asparagus Pasta Bake.

In my instant pot, I placed 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts. I put them on the trivet with a cup of water. The chicken was frozen. Once I put the lid on, I just put it in the “poultry” setting.

When cooking, I took 2 bunches of asparagus and cut off the woody parts. I cut the rest of it into bite-sized pieces. You could also substitute broccoli, but Big Daddy does not like the broccoli and chicken combo :/

When the chicken was done, I put it in my kitchen aid, and I used that to shred the chicken (aka brilliant idea, so thanks to youtube for showing me that). I added my seasoning mix and the asparagus in that same pot where I shredded the chicken. I thought it looked a bit dry, so I put in 2 cans of cream of mushroom and about a half cup of sour cream.

Instant Pot

In the instant pot, I put in a box of elbow macaroni with a 1/2 stick of butter. I add enough water to cover the pasta. I set the pot on the manual for 6 minutes. While that was cooking, I made a white sauce. It was 2 T. butter to 2 T. flour. I whisked that together in a pan until it was mixed well. Once I mixed it, I added a cup of milk. I stirred that (it will stick) until it was thick, and then I took it off the heat and added about 2 c. mozzarella. With as much pasta and chicken as I had, I should’ve doubled it, and it would’ve been good with some cream cheese!

Oven Time

I greased a 13×9 pan but realized I needed something big to stir it all together. Also, I realized that I made a lot, so I greased another 11×9 pan to freeze for a later meal. I mixed the pasta, the chicken/asparagus mixture, more seasoning, Italian breadcrumbs, and a little leftover mozzarella.

I put it all in the dish, covered it, and cooked it at 350 for 45 minutes. Then I took the aluminum off and cooked it for another 5 minutes.

It. Was. Good.

Pork Chop Hashbrown Casserole

Pork Chop Hashbrown Casserole

Here is my Pork Chop Hashbrown Casserole. We do not buy chops often unless they are on sale. So, luckily these were, so I shuffled through what I had on hand. From there, I add what I have and see what I come up with for this recipe. I’ve come up with the Pork Chop Hashbrown Casserole for this recipe. Add that to the fact that I love one-pot meals, and this was the outcome.

Pork-Chop Hashbrown Casserole

8 Pork Chops

1 can cream mushroom

Seasoning

8 oz. sour cream

Cheddar

1 bag hashbrown (I shredded up 8 potatoes because that is what I had).

You can add sauteed peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini.

How You Go About Making It

Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 13×9 pan.

In a large bowl, place hashbrowns, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, and seasoning. This is also where you could stir in your sauteed vegetables if you choose to add them in. Stir this all together. Remember, start seasoning small. If you do too much, you can’t take it back out. If you add too little, you can always throw a dash back into the dish if you need to! Stir this all together well and place it in the greased 13×9 dish.

Once it is in the dish, spread the cheddar cheese on top. Next, work on your 8 chops. What I do for them is use a meat tenderizer on them to help loosen up the meat. Season it on both sides. When that is done, lay the chops over the hashbrown/veggie/cheese mixture.

Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Once that time is up, get the foil off and then bake again until the cheese is nice and gooey. Please be sure to check the temp of the meat. No one wants to eat undercooked pork!

Tidbits

Enjoy :). You can use bone-in chops or boneless chops. You might notice in my recipes that I do not have exact measurements, as you will see above, “seasoning” with no XXX teaspoons. I don’t do this to irritate people. Honestly, I don’t measure things.

As a rule of thumb, the season is on the lighter side. You can always add more, but you can’t take the salt/pepper/garlic out of something. I have cooked for so long that I only use exact measurements when I bake. That is a “have to” type thing.
